Final Fantasy This Morning for February 5, 2016: Unable to Connect to Download Server

The main title to this comes from some
issues I'm having with Skype right now. When I signed in yesterday,
there were updates available, as it seems there are about half the
time I sign in. Or at least that's kind of how it used to be. In
the process of trying to actually get said updates to download and
apply, Skype kept telling me that it couldn't connect to the download
server, which is something I've come to the conclusion is a problem
on their end rather than mine, as my Internet connection is good, and
has been the whole time. Of course, that's not something I'd taken a
moment to considered before it was too late. In my haste, I
uninstalled Skype on my computer, and now I can't seem to get it
reinstalled. Updates on that will follow, as it's an ongoing thing.

As for the the gaming side of this, all
I can really say is that I'm seriously considering ending my Text
Play of Final Fantasy 8 where it is. I might continue playing
regardless, just so I can actually see the ending for myself, even if
I don't do any writing about it. The longer I'm at this one, the
less inclined I feel to actually continue with it, and I have a
feeling I'll need to make an official decision one way or another
before too terribly long. The good news is that no matter what, I've
still made it farther in the game than I ever have before, and that's
something, anyway.

When it comes to what's next for the
Text Play series, well, that's kind of up in the air right now. I'd
kind of like to do something that isn't Final Fantasy for a change,
just to break things up a bit. The good news is that I do have a few
options, though not as many as I'd like. Right now, the prime
contenders are Chrono Trigger and Breath of Fire. We'll just have to
wing it for awhile, though. I've kinda gotta get a few other things
sorted out first, I think.
